Score! TD Garden overhaul plan in the works

It’s hard to believe, but it has been more than 20 years since construction began on Boston’s TD Garden. According to several media reports, the owners are now planning on $70 million in improvements at “The Gah-den.” Anyone who has been funneled through TD Garden’s entrance will be happy about this planned change. Digital Journal reports there will be a new entrance that should speed up movement into the arena.
